Hi friends, colleagues, relatives and those who are concerned with matters about me ")
This is a very very very long posting..hope you all dun mind.
Yeahhhhhhhhhhh…………………
Yup on
I hope to document everything down so that everyone can share my joy and most importantly get the full picture (also to record it down so that I wun be nag if I fail to remember! Keke).
Project Proposal
This concept was developed in 2007 January where I decided that I should try to get pictures from all over the world, with blessing from friends or natives staying in that area (see first posting).
Photo Gathering
I had since email people in
In the end, I realized friends and colleagues are the best ") Tapping on my limited network of friends, most of my friends and colleagues happily agreed to assist me. Soon photos from
Blink Blink aka the carbon-turn-into-expensive rock
Zee did indicate that she hope to get a 0.3 diamond ring and preferably from a decent jewellery shop. From here, I limited my choices to either Lee Hwa’s Destinee or Soo Kee Brilliant Rose. However, after reading some forum postings in one of the local wedding forum, I realized Soo Kee’s Brilliant Rose would be more suitable.
There I am…walking into Soo Kee store in Central *it was a very very very terrifying experience for a guy who never walk into an expensive jewellery store!*
However, I am fortunate to say that the Sales assistant did a wonderful job explaining to me patiently on the range of Brilliant Rose diamond Ring. This is also the first time that I need to set a huge budget for the ring. T_T
Soon, I asked my colleagues for the DBS credit card which can enjoy 5% offer! (trust me for that price, every percent count!) Better yet, Eileen indicated that she has the Soo Kee member card and a POSB card! ^_^
After choosing, picking and much discussion, I decided on this blink blink (^_^)
It fits within her demand, although it did stretch my budget by another 10-20%...but I think it is worth it ")
Later on, I realized that the ring size was way too big. Fortunately, I secretly copied Zee’s ring size (drawing the internal circumference of the ring) and obtain the perfect size (at least that what I think haha).
Music for the presentation
Long long time ago, during our 6-month anniversary, I created a lame but touching flash for my Zee. I remember I used the Instrumental song, Hear me Cry from Love Generation, a Japanese Drama. I believe this song holds important and precious memory for me and Zee.
Next song will be Chasing Car from Snow Patrol. After hearing their MTV, I decided to use it for the 2nd part of my presentation.
Compilation of Presentation
It took me more than 10 days to choose, edit and mix and match the entire presentation. Sleeping at
But I am glad that I completed it in time.
Other Props – Musical Box
This musical box was purchased at the end of 2006 when I was in
Venue –
Trust me…going a trip with a diamond ring in your small bag is a terrifying experience especially when you need to go to busy packed shopping malls such as Platinum Mall. T_T … I was a bit paranoid, checking my bag every hour or so…(>.<)|||
I plan to propose to her in a nice restaurant in Patpong/Silom area where we had our first dinner in
HOWEVER….
Her friends appeared! You see almost half of the NIE teachers are in
Venue – Baiyoke Sky Hotel Room
While Zee is bathing, I start to prepare my item…the presentation video file in my PDA, the musical box and certainly the ring. I have also changed in a long sleeve shirt and pant to show my sincerity (I mean no one propose in shorts and sleeveless T shirt right? Unless you are doing it at a beach ") )
When she finished bathing, I asked her to sit on the bed…She asked why I am in such a formal dressing. I say we are going out soon. Haha…
I showed her our 6-month flash clip to refresh her memory…
Next the video clip…I must admit the counting down part made us giggle. The reason for 4 was that it has nearly been 4 years since we got together… ")
…and pop the question, “will you marry me?”
She nodded…and I helped her wear the ring. After which, she cried (which mean she is touched haha). The ring was a perfect fit…phew…I was afraid whether it will be too small or too big :P
The rest of story? Haha ….couple secret ") ß- relax…no baby is due soon.
I am glad I proposed and let Zee be my love and my companion for the rest of our life. Certainly, there will be argument, disagreement and hopefully not fights but we will always try to communicate and stay together…not forgetting the love we had and have. No relationship is ever smooth sailing but let us try and complete this path together. I am not blind but simply optimistic that we can do it ")
Thanks everyone for reading this long long long thread…and thanks for all the help.
Oh ya…BIG ANG PAO if I ever have a wedding dinner haha…

Good job, man!! You did good.
And congratulations.
I was browsing through the Daily photo blogs, and found Ming's page with the link to your site. I read your whole post and saw the videos and CRIED! It was so beautiful, and your bride-to-be is very lucky to have found someone to do all of this for her. It was an amazing idea. I wish you all the best and Congratulations to you both!!!
So romantic! I think Zee got a good deal, but then again, she was always telling us she was dying to get married off anyway! Lol~!
Congrats to you both!!!
IT'S AMAZING.
i can feel the joy.
congrats.
your supper kakis - princess pengy
Hi all,
Firstly, I would like to thank everyone for their blessings and well-wishes.
Next, I would also like to thank dear and his friends and colleagues, including Ming for their help in creating such a wonderful proposal for me... Thanks a lot.. It is really very special and meaningful to me...
Seriously, dear's proposal caught me by surprise...and I was very moved by his efforts and sincerity. I was very touched when he told me the little stuff that he did in preparation for the proposal.. things such as secretly copying my ring size when I left my ring in his room.. and buying that musical box as a proposal tool way back last year.. To me, that was very important... because it shows that he has been thinking and planning for the proposal... rather than just simply popping that question anytime, anywhere...
Hee, I am very fortunate to have met someone like him... Thanks dear.. I really appreciate your efforts and will love you always... =)
Zee
